Software & Database Development

We specialise in architecture, frameworks, and bespoke design and development of software for the Microsoft Windows platform. With around 20 years experience in commercial software production, we can offer a wealth of expertise in building mission-critical database-driven applications.

Particular areas of expertise are:

• Microsoft SQL Server

  - database design, stored procedures, data transformation, data analysis.

• .NET

  - C# is our preferred development language, and we strongly recommend the .Net Framework for future development projects, both for the desktop (Windows Forms) and thin-client or internet/intranet (ASP.Net). Hybrid Smart Client - Web Service applications are also particularly well supported.

• Visual Basic

  - many systems deployed using n-Tier COM architectures.

• XML

  - the essential requirement for systems integration, data distribution, and loosely-coupled components. XSLT adds the potential for data transformation, reporting, and business-to-business (B2B) information exchange.
